THE WEEK AHEAD: March 2-8, 2020

Here's a look at this week on TV!

ABC
ABC has both its Tuesday and Wednesday lineups mostly preempted this week. Tuesday has Super Tuesday coverage across the networks while Wednesday has a Nik Wallenda stunt. His last big stunt over Niagara Falls did pretty well in 2012, but I don't feel like people care about him as much so I don't think it'll get a lot of attention.

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- In a huge deal with Dick Wolf, NBC has renewed all four of his dramas for a whopping THREE seasons a piece through 2022-2023. This will take Chicago Fire through Season 11, Chicago PD through Season 10, Chicago Med through Season 8 and Law & Order through... wait for it... Season 24! All four are still doing well. The Chicago trio has been one of broadcast's few bright spots especially since they started airing on the same night. SVU has done very well given its absolutely terrible lead-ins like Indebted, Abby's and Sunnyside.

- CBS has announced that the current season of Hawaii Five-0, its tenth, will be its last. The drama aired on Mondays for three years and has now aired on Fridays for seven seasons. Given that it was somewhat of a disappointment on Mondays, it has turned into an extremely reliable pair with Blue Bloods on Friday night. The original series lasted 12 seasons and 279 episodes. This one will be 10 seasons and 240 episodes. That's quite a successful franchise.

- FOX announced that the second season of Mental Samurai will premiere on April 22 at 9pm. It's interesting that they're already starting to schedule these unscripted summer shows and still no word about dramas neXt or Filthy Rich.

- NBC has made changes to its plan for Council of Dads. The midseason drama was supposed to get a few episodes after the final episodes of the season of This is Us before succeeding the drama in the 9pm slot. But now it will get a one time airing after the season finale of This is Us on March 24 and then air more than a month later on Thursdays at 8pm, starting April 30. Clearly, NBC has soured on this show and doesn't see much of a chance for it to succeed by basically shoving it to summer. Of course, it very easily could have been a bomb like The Village was on Tuesdays and hurt New Amsterdam in the process.
